Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 851 Can't Let Anyone See Your Obsession with Him

Sophia dropped her head, her lashes casting shadows on her cheeks. "I get why you're here, to make me choose, but I can't just ditch my feelings for him. Got any ideas?"

Selena set her cup down. "I'm not saying you gotta give up, but you gotta promise me that once you're famous, you can chase Ronald all you want in private. Just don't let anyone see you drooling over him in public. You're an actress, right? Just keep acting off-screen too."

Sophia's eyes lit up, and she hugged Selena tight. "I swear, Ms. Fair, no one will ever know!"

Selena smiled. "Just keep your word."

"I will! You've been the best to me since my parents passed." Sophia's voice cracked, and she couldn't meet Selena's gaze.
